Transformers: Rondo of Titan and Beyond Saga
(R1) The Spark of Rebellion
Stage 4: The White Knight Awakens
Outside from the G1 Base during the Great Skirmish of Shinjuku City.
"What's going on? Did you and your guards" Clovis question the Colonel? "I'm sorry, there was a hostage situation, and we thought we had them..." He clarified every, and Clovis was furious after hearing this unfortunate news. "Well, that's not the worse part; one of your subordinates refused to kill the terrorist. he killed himself, so he won't have to suffer, and my subordinate was upset that Hiro attempted to blame me for it, and he had finally crossed the line."
"he's lying. he didn't kill himself; your royal guard killed him, and I am upset because it is his fault. Please, you have to listen" As Rai tried to reconsider Clovis, he didn't buy his word, believing he was mad. But Clovis did believe it; he just didn't care as they're all expandable soldiers and nothing more.
Later in the Brig, Hiro was visited by Clovis himself. "No wonder you're so difficult to someone who doesn't follow an order." Hiro tried to explain everything that occurred, but he still wouldn't listen as he knew he had to keep it a secret about the escaped Norma and his side-project. "Time and time again, I've tried to cover for you, and time after time again, I've covered for you because you can't do anything right!"
"Look, you may think I'm insubordinate, and I always disobey every order you gave me, but I am not crazy. you have to believe." But once again, Clovis refused and reminded him about his Uncle was a remarkable man when he was accepted as the First Honorary Britannian. No one had to offer, and he wouldn't expect great things for him, and so was Clovis. Before he walked away while leaving him in the brig and awaited his punishment.
Meanwhile.
"Well, are we all having a bad day?" As Suzaku is woken up after being shot by the Royal Guard's Captain. "Looks like you missed a chance to go to heaven, Private Kururugi." Lloyd teased him, just for fun. he asked about the place he was in, and Lloyd replied. "Hmm? Ah, we're still in Shinjuku City." As Lloyd clarified his whereabouts and Suzaku wondered how he was still alive, Cecile picked up an old pocket watch and showed it to him. "This is what saved your life, Mr. Suzaku." She explained that his pocket watch had deflected the bullets inside his protective suit. "So tell me, is it a keepsake," Cecile asked. "Uh, yeah," Suzaku answered.
"Lloyd, how is he? Is he alive?" Mariel asked him about Suzaku's condition. "He's fine, Mariel. In fact, he's very much alive, and if he wasn't alive before-"
"Excuse me?" Suzaku interrupted their conversation. "Are they- What's the latest on the situation?" He asked about the current situation. "Well, the gas has been released inside the city, and many casualties have been reported." While Lloyd explains everything that already happened.
"Oh, That reminds me." Mariel mentioned. "they haven't caught the perpetrators yet, but they're searching." After explaining what happened, Lloyd bore himself with their so-called "information." Still, instead, he decided to skip the details and get to the good part. "Anyway, how much experience do you have in piloting a Mecha?"
"You mean Mobile Suit?" Suzaku asked. "No, No, No. I mean a Knightmare Frame, you silly gooses." Lloyd answered. "Wait, I thought Eleven aren't allowed to pilot the Knightmare Frame. Only Pureblood are allowed even when they are knighted." Although he was right, Lloyd gave Suzaku a key to the knight. "congrats, Suzaku, you will be the first to pilot my prototype. Lloyd replied. "Prototype? What Prototype?" Suzaku questioned but was puzzled. "The Prototype. As it's about to change everything and finally turning the tide to this conflict."
"He's right; this marvelous machine will revolutionize the world that will put Mobile Suit to shame," Lloyd smirked as this would be his most outstanding achievement yet. "Whether you want it to or not." Mariel gave him a choice, should he accept this obligation. He'll become more than just an Honorary Britannian but as the first pilot.
Meanwhile.
UN forces have sent out the Mobile suit unit: Jesta to aid the Japanese force against the Britannian. They had broken their peace agreement in the wake of devastation. Still, the Britannian couldn't be allowed to send more reinforcement. So they cut off all communication using an EMP Grenade, a prototype designed to disrupt all communication, including a Mobile suit, making the Knightmare frame completely ineffective and invulnerable to any kind of weaponry. And they all fell one by one with every Mobile Suit except for Kallen's Mobile Suit. It was made out of a Knightmare frame part, an alternative energy source: Ahab wave reactor. "Those damn Britannians! They'll gonna pay for this!" Kallen enraged.
"*static* "Kallen, are you okay?" Ohgi contacted. Don't worry, Ohgi, I'm all right. Get the people out of here. I'll distract them. If our people get captured, those who side will trace our resistance to the supporter of the United Nations."
Simultaneously, at the warehouse where a massacre just took place.
After saving Angelise from Royal Guards by killing them using his power of absolute obedience, Lelouch is puzzled by his newly acquired power. He has received from the mysterious young woman and ponders what to do with it. "Lelouch? How did you..." she asked before she heard something.
So he told Ange to get behind her as one soldier is scouting across the battlefield, even the warehouse. only to see that it's only one Sutherland piloted by Villetta Nu who's just pasting, which she found a bunch of corpses belonging to the Royal Guards."What the- These are Clovis's Royal Guard, but how did they all die?" Just then, Villetta spotted Lelouch and Angelise on sight."You two, what happened here? And why is there a Britannian student and Misurugian citizen doing in a place like this?!" Though she tried to interrogate them, they couldn't reply to her question. "What are you, deaf or something? Answer me, or I'll-" Villetta rapidly shoots them with a machine gun as a warning shot while forcing them to answer. "I order you to step out. Immediately!" Lelouch demanded. "Who in the hell do you think you're talking to, trying to give me an order like that?" His attempt to use his power to commandeer her Sutherland failed, but he soon realizes that his power requires eye contact to work.
"Forgive me for this; my name is Allen Spacer, my cousin, Lucy. Her mother's a duchess, and my father's a Baron, both of us are from House Alexander." As Lelouch gives Villetta their fake alias, she believes that Lelouch and Angelise are from the Nobilities and requests her in complete protection. But first, she asked if she could see their ID, and Lelouch told her it was in his breast pocket, thus forcing her to step out of her Knightmare Frame. "Keep your hands up in the air; I'll take out your ID." Once she stepped out of her Sutherland, Lelouch could use his power and compel her to hand over the Activation Key and the code number to her Knightmare. A moment later, she regained consciousness and found that her Sutherland was missing.
During the Skirmish.
While the battle raged on, Many JP personnel gathered their research while destroying it to keep the Britannian from discovering classified research. That could change the outcome and prevent them from using it against the UN, The Soviets, Europia, and the Chinese Federation.
Before long, the Britannian Soldier raided the Base and killed all the U.S. personnel while entering a secret laboratory hidden underneath Shinjuku City, believed to be a resistance hideout. "Report, soldier." The Colonel demanded. "Sir, there's nothing here, and there are showed zero resistance upon the UN Soldiers." As soldiers have stated. "Excellent, Viceroy Clovis would be pleased. Hopefully, he'll rank me as General as we're about to finish, what had started seven years ago when we invaded Japan before the UN intervened along with Soviet Empire." With such high hope, the Colonel would be happy if Clovis grants him the rank of General. However, they stumble upon a locked hangar door that can't be opened unless they have a clearance code. Instead, they tried setting up many charges and getting to the safe zone. Once all the soldiers clear from the blast radius, The Colonel ordered the Lieutenant to detonate to blast a hole through the Hanger and blow it up.
(*BOOM*)
This allows Britannian forces to storm into the hunger until they've stopped. "Why are we stopping," Colonel asked to his subordinated and much to his surprise. He saw an old mobile suit, but it's different, almost if he's seen a ghost. For what he's visiting would change everything. "Contact the Area 11 Branch and Get Major Coral on the line, Now!" Despite his fear and trauma from his past, the Colonel Demanded back when he was Captain of his Battalion, Fifty years ago. "But sir, It's just an old mobile suit. there's nothing to be afraid of it." The soldier replied. "You are sadly mistaken, you imbecile. This is not just an old Mobile suit... It's a Gundam frame."
Meanwhile.
Lelouch contacts Shirley in order to ascertain the situation in the Shinjuku City. Back at Ashford Academy, in the Girl's Locker, Shirley have already dressed up in her school swimsuit as she is part of the Swimming Club. Her phone starts to ring and then, she's answered. "Oh, Lulu? What in the world have you been doing? Where've you been?" She asked. "If you keep cutting class, you'll gonna get held back for a year."
Though she's alway looking after him, Lelouch apologized for worrying her and told her to put on a radio. She asked what kind of station she changed and he told her to change it to news. "Uhh, let's see... There's nothing on. It's just the same story and something about Traffic restrictions?" She told Lelouch. " I see that, but Why is it restricted?" he asked. "I don't know. They're didn't said anything." As Lelouch started to puzzle it together, he realized that they're trying to wipe out the UN before favoring the military, and only military who can pull this off is none other than Britannia's oldest allies. Gjallarhorns. "Ooh, you're gambling again, aren't you? I've warned you before more than once how dangerous that is!" Shirley angered at Lelouch before he's spotted a chess board as he thought an idea. "Yep, you caught me. By the way, tell my little sister that I'm gonna be late and I'll see her at home tonight, would you? Thanks." He replies before hanging up. Oooh! Why does he always hang up on me like that?!"
Back at Shinjuku Battle.
Lelouch contacts Shirley to ascertain the situation in Shinjuku City. Back at Ashford Academy, in the Girl's Locker, Shirley has already dressed up in her school swimsuit as she is part of the Swimming Club. Her phone starts to ring and then, she's answered. "Oh, Lulu? What in the world have you been doing? Where've you been?" She asked. "If you keep cutting class, you'll get held back for a year."
Though Lelouch apologized for worrying her and told her to put on the radio. She asked what kind of station she changed, and he told her to change it to the news. "Uhh, let's see...

There didn't say anything." As Lelouch started to puzzle it together, he realized that they were trying to wipe out the UN before favoring the military. The only army who can pull this off is none other than Britannia's oldest allies. Gjallarhorn's. "Ooh, you're rambling again, aren't you? I've warned you before more than once how dangerous that is!" Shirley is angered at Lelouch before he's spotted a chessboard as he thought an idea. "Yep, you caught me. Tell my little sister that I'm going to be late and I'll see her at home tonight, will you? Thanks." He replies before hanging up. Oooh! Why does he always hang up on me like that?!"
After making a call from Shirley, Lelouch must protect Angelise from being captured, so he told Ange to stay until he came back for her. "What, No, I wanna come with you." She replied. "You can't; what if someone finds you, and I won't be there to save you." As he tried to convince her to stay, but she refused. He's confident with no other choice, but she'll have to keep close to him.
Meanwhile, Hiro was locked up in the brig until the explosion from the terrorist damaged the brig and allowed him to escape. He armed himself with a rifle and a sword before finding the Colonel and ending him. Elsewhere, Kallen is closed in by Jeremiah, Morris, and another member of the Purist Faction and attempts to flee from them. "It's our Glasgow friend." As Jeremiah was about to finish her, Kallen was down to 20% to her Ahab Wave Reactor. She only had 30 minutes left before running out.
"*Static* The west entrance. Use the tracks to move to the west entrance." Without any option, Kallen accepted his offer and asked him how she would succeed. "You pathetic Eleven. If you simply run away from the fight. Then, this hunt would've been so much fun in the way you've never imagined." Due to Kallen's trust in Lelouch, he ordered her to jump onto the incoming train, and she complied. You think you can get through that way, hmm? If that's your plan, then... You! Go after the Glasgow. After Jeremiah orders his loyal subordinate to go after Glasgow, his deputy would be killed and destroyed by a Sutherland using a Slash Harken. "What the...? Shot by friendly fire?" You there! What's your names and ranks, soldier?! We're after the one-armed Glasgow." Then Slash Harken struck but missed. He realized that he was dealing with a Terrorist in a stolen Sutherland, piloted by Angelise and Lelouch themselves. "Why, you mother-!" Before Jeremiah opened fire on Lelouch and Ange, Kallen charged and sliced Jeremiah's Sutherland right arm before promptly ejecting himself to safety. "You saved me. But how did you get ahold of a Sutherland?" As Kallen asked, they've disappeared. "Kallen! What the hell was that radio message earlier?" As Oghi and the others arrive at Kallen's location, wondering about the radio message from earlier ago. But Kallen had no idea about the radio message from earlier until Ohgi received a letter from Lelouch. "who's in charge here?" He questioned Ohgi. "Uh, I-I am, Sir," Ohgi answered. "I present to you a gift, awaiting inside the cargo hold from that train over there." As Kallen opened the cargo hold, they were surprised to see dozen of Knightmare frames, both Sutherland and Glasgow. "They're tools for your victory. If you want to use them to win, follow my orders."
Everyone in the resistance is excited to see that someone is sending enough firepower to win the fight against Britannia and the Misurugi by any means necessary. Lelouch spoke to Kallen, ordering her to wait while her unit would be decoys. In the meantime, her nightmare is refueling and repairing for the next battle. "Lelouch? you're sure about this scheme would work." As Ange is concerned about Lelouch's plan. "Nonetheless, I'm determined this plan will succeed. After all, I'm betting our entire life in this game."
Later, Back at the G1 Base.
"The terrorists are mixed among the Eleven populous, and they're mounting a minor resistance against us. But they pose little threat to our vastly superior army." According to Bartley's report. However, Clovis isn't interested in his report but the status of the escaped Norma and the stolen capsule. Bartley replied that they're still searching for them, but they've looked everywhere, but there's no sign of them as there's too much heat. Bartley suggests they fall back and regroup before it starts to escalate. Clovis refused to fall back and ordered Bartley to call all available troops back on the frontline. At the same time, his remaining forces continue their search for them. Bartley complied. Elsewhere at the Base far from Shinjuku, The Colonel tried to contact Major Coral but received no response from him. What's worse is that he receive a message from Bartley, ordering all available troop to fall back as they're being placed on the frontline. Furious upon this unfortunate revelation, He called some of his men to guard the Gundam Frame. At the same time, he and his Legion returns to the frontline.
Moment Later.
As Ohgi, Tamaki, Minami, Kento, Inoue, Yoshida, and the remaining resistance fighter prepped them into the Sutherland and the Glasgow. Tamaki's suspicion had caught his attention told Ohgi why he couldn't be trusted, believing this could be a trap set up by Britannian. "The other side has a full advantage in this war. They don't need to set any traps. All right, people, let's move. Get to your assigned points." However, Lelouch told Ohgi to halt and follow his order instead. Ohgi is fed up and demands to reveal who he is or his name. But Lelouch couldn't show his name, not to mention Lelouch can't be sure if the line is entirely secure. Also, he couldn't risk letting Angelise get taken from the Britannian force; he told Ohgi that Kallen (a.k.a) Q1 is on schedule. All he had to do was create chaos by shooting through the wall since Q1 is the bait and the trap is set.
Meanwhile.
Clovis's Military strategist has spotted the enemy at point F31. "A faint, eh? How pedestrian." A Clovis believes they are trying to flee from the fight; he orders Bartley to send Laslo's Squad along with Corvus, Valvire, and Eugen but instructs them not to engage. However, they didn't expect this was an ambush until it was too late. Due to the trap set by the Terrorist, Valvire and Eugen are killed in action as Ohgi, and the other have easily wiped out Laslo's squad with one strike. "An ID signal can be a double-edged sword. Besides, if the terrorists follow the orders I issue, my task at hand is sure to be completed." Hotshot arrived at Shinjuku but no sight of the truck or B127 anywhere. "Scrap, I lost him. Oh shit, what am I gonna do now?" Fortunately, Hotshot spotted a battle, believing that B127 might have been caught in a war zone. Not wanting to get involved, Windblade instructed him to find B127 and avoid contact with the humans. However, Hotshot couldn't let B127 get hurt, so he transformed and went into the battlefield searching for B127.
Back at G1 Base, Clovis ordered everyone to attack in every direction, but all of them were destroyed. However, he realizes that he's on the verge of defeat for the first time since Clovis is reminded of how Angelise defeated him in Laira. Still, Clovis always wins at chess against her. At a bad timing, Lloyd contacted them as he had a unique prototype and wished to be tested. Clovis denied his request as the battle raged on as ordered his troop and battalion to break formation. This allowed Lelouch to take an opportunity to strike and win. "Well, that's a more stupid move than I expected."
He called Q1 as in Kallen and asked if she had an area map. "Yes, I have a map of the Shinjuku, and it has many landmarks, but how will this help?" Kallen answered through the radio comm. "Trust me, This should be a game-changer." Lelouch has precisely predicted that Clovis would pull out his forces by breaking the formation, allowing him to get closer to him sooner or later. The battle will be over. Lelouch will win. "All right, send in Burts and the others too," Clovis orders them to trap the rebels. "Concentrate our forces there. Surround them." As his troop surrounds them, there's nobody here. Confused, Clovis realizes and orders them to retreat, but it's too late. Kallen then uses her Glasgow's Slash Harken to damage the supports, which causes ground underneath Clovis' units to collapse and fall down to the lower level. effectively destroying them all and pushing Clovis's force into a corner. "HAHAHAHAHA! My plan worked. I can do it. I could finally defeat them. I can finally obliterate Britannia."
"Who? Who in the hell am I up against? What if he's even better than Todo or Rick Hunter himself?" Clovis was shocked to see that he was beaten and bested by a new opponent whose tactics were far more significant than anyone else combined. Desperate to win, He told Bartley to contact Lloyd and ask him if his new toy was ready. "Ah, Prince Clovis. What a surprise?" As Lloyd knew, he was crawled back to reconsider his offer. "Can it win? Will your toy beat them?" He questions Lloyd about his new prototype. "My Lord, please be so kind as to call it Lancelot."
The Colonel's Lackey grew impatient, bored, and restless upon waiting for the Colonel to return while guarding the 8th Demon as he instructed them. However, they heard the sound of screaming. It was coming from the hallway, believing that someone was in here and decided to investigate instead of following the Colonel's order.
One of the soldiers had spotted a slender yet curvaceous woman with long purple hair and eyes wearing a revealing sleeveless lilac cheongsam, including her detached lilac arm sleeves and white boots. She wore glasses and had a scar on her right cheek. Still, the soldiers laugh and mock her because she's a girl. Too bad for them, they were diced by her using a giant scissor blade called Extase. "I'm sorry," the purple-haired girl apologized. This alerted the remaining soldier. But the rest were decapitated by a pretty young girl with long black hair that reaches down to her knees and red eyes. She wears a dark sleeveless tank top with a white collar and a red tie; she wears a red belt with a red side skirt cover over a black, pleated skirt. She wears it with long black socks and black shoes. She also wears red gauntlets and black gloves. "Well, how did you like the weapon, Akame?" said the purple-haired girl. "I love it. Thanks for asking Sheele." Akame replied. After successfully securing the 8th Demon, Akame told Sheele to contact the other and relay the message, telling them to bring in the pilot.
Elsewhere, the [ASEEC] company prepares for the new prototype dubbed the Lancelot, testing its capability and function enough to win. While Suzaku changes into his new Knightmare frame battle suit in a black, green, and white color scheme after Mariel congrats him on scoring the highest in the simulator. "That was amazing, an excellent Suzaku. I mean Mr. Kururugi. Uh, c-can I call you Suzaku-san" Mariel asked through an earpiece communicator. "Well, I uh. Didn't know you like Japanese culture." He questions her about her interest in Japan. She explained that her father was linguistics and culturist who studied in New York. Before moving back to his homeland, he fell in love with her mother, an archaeologist, and an Asian American. Just as she continued to explain her family story, Cecile came in and told her that she needed to talk. So she wishes Suzaku good luck before passing the comm to Cecile. "So, Did you read the manual?" she asked. "Pretty much," Suzaku replied.
"Miss Cecile? About what you told me earlier." He asked. "Huh? Ah, it could be. But the possibility is nearly zero." In an odd, Suzaku would win at any cost if he must. "Even so, you're not to do anything reckless. The new system is not outfitted with an ejection mechanism." He understood what Cecile said, especially this prototype made from the Advance Special Envoy Engineering Corp. "Well, if you're ready, Suzaku, shall we proceed with the initial startup?" Lloyd quey.
As Suzaku hop onto the cockpit and initialize the startup after Mariel and Cecile check on the Yggdrasil Resonance and the Devices Stress Response for any. Yet all readings are nominal and functional, but the ejection system is offline. However, his power cell is Fifty percent ready to go for launch. "Lancelot, activate ME-boost," Suzaku responded. Knightmare Frame Lancelot, now launch! Cecile and Mariel both said it simultaneously before launching the Lancelot. "HAHAHAHA! Running full throttle right out of the gate." Lloyd was joyfully laughed as he saw his most tremendous creation leaps into action.
With Suzaku piloting the Lancelot, he resolves himself to destroy the enemy units to cease the bloodshed. However, the terrorist doesn't care how much bloodshed, but never the least, he had a duty to uphold and protect Britannia and the Elevens in any way he could. However, Tamaki spotted a Knightmare frame. "Huh? What is that? It doesn't look like a Sutherland."
"Uh, Lelouch. Are those reinforcements? Angelise spotted on his radar."Hm? Reinforcements?" Lelouch replied. "Hmph, it's just one Knightmare frame. I'll contact the other and have them disposed of this worthless heap of garbage before we move onto our next." Said, Lelouch. Unfortunately, Suzaku managed to defeat them but never harmed the pilots as he could not kill them. Outmatch by a new machine, Lelouch sent out more to deal with the interloper, but they were defeated. Everyone made it out safely, including Ohgi. They decided to make a strategic retreat and run away like a little girl since they couldn't beat the newly-powerful Knightmare frame designated as Lancelot. Meanwhile, Bartley gave a report about Lancelot to Viceroy Clovis and told him that it was a huge success. "For heaven's sake. I'll owe my older brother a debt I don't need to incur. It's for the best, though." Clovis was relieved that Lancelot would be his most outstanding achievement by turning the tide. Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Suzaku took down every terrorist with Lancelot and forced them to retreat. "If I can stop all the Knightmares, this battle is over. No matter what it takes, I've gotta save Lelouch, Angelise, and that girl." After Suzaku has finished off one by one, he spots Lelouch and Angelise in the Sutherland on top of a damaged building. "Lelouch, watch out! It's the Knightmare frames," Angelise warns Lelouch before Suzaku can strike. "What! You mean this thing's what's ruining my plan?" he startled. "Are you the guy that's in command?" Suzaku questions him even though he doesn't know who he's dealing with. "Nothing more than a pilot. How dare he!" Lelouch decided to fight back, but Angelise refused to help him as she didn't want to fight because she's an imperial princess, which she's not.
This battle would end when the floor collapsed, falling down till they reached the 1st floor. "Lelouch, there's no other choice. We have to leave now," Ange suggested. However, Kallen interjects in their fight to buy Lelouch and Ange some time to escape but is quickly overpowered, causing her to eject. Lelouch and Ange have been able to run the building and evade Lancelot. "I must remember that the most vital element in battle is the human one." Lelouch panicked after being followed by Lancelot.
"That damn monster's unstoppable!" So Lelouch manages to shoot the broken-down buildings in an attempt to damage the Lancelot, but Suzaku easily dodges all of them. Suddenly, Suzaku notices a woman and her child falling and decides to give up following Lelouch to save them. Only Lancelot's left leg gets shattered after tripping from the debris until Hotshot comes along and saves a woman and her child. He accidentally exposes himself, and he scares them away. Luckily, it was just one witness, but Suzaku had seen him and was speechless.
"Suzaku, are you alright?" Cecile called on. "Yeah, I'm alright. Just a scratch." He replied as he tried to get Lancelot up and running. "Easy Suzaku, We'll call it quits for today," Cecile suggested to Suzaku until he declined, saying he'll keep going.
Near Clovis' G-1 Base, Lloyd asked Mariel about her apprentice named Shina. He wondered if she could fix the Lancelot since she built it for them; also, she's Japanese. While Mariel and Lloyd discuss Shina. Lelouch is seen disguised as a Britannian soldier who has taken Angelise as a prisoner in her prison outfit, only to stop by the guard who requests to see his ID. "At last, the checkpoint. And barely guarded, per my plan," he replied before commanding the guard to give full access to the Base by using the king's power.
The Colonel is fed up with Coral on the battlefield for not responding to his message. However, his scouts have intel on the whereabouts of the terrorist in one place. This pleased the Colonel as this was a golden opportunity. He would finally be promoted to General, allowing the Britannian to take over and claim half of Japan and become entire Area 11, once and for all.
On the other hand, Kallen meets with Ohgi and the others in a warehouse full of Japanese and the Elevens. "Oh, who was that voice we heard?" Kallen asked. "How the hell should I know. He doesn't answer when I call, so maybe he b–" Ohgi replied.
As they discuss the mysterious voice, who was issuing commands and wonders why the person doesn't answer back when they try to reach him. They are surprised when the Colonel and his Britannian Legion locate their whereabouts. They were surprised to see everyone cornered, ready to open fire on them.
"There, you see! Instead of following somebody, we don't even know, we should've used the poison gas." Although he despised Nagata for releasing the poison gas into the UN Territory, Tamaki was right. "At last, we may finally take down the Japanese, including the Elevens itself. Prepare to open fire on them." The Colonel ordered them, so the Britannian could be conquered entirely. Unfortunately, just as the Colonel was about to open fire on them. A ceasefire is made by Clovis, saving them from death.
"Attention all forces. Ceasefire at once." As Clovis ordered them to hold their fire. "I Clovis, third prince of Britannia and royal viceroy of Area Eleven, as a result of this command, you, all forces are ordered to cease fire and the destruction of any buildings or property. Whether Britannian or American and Eleven, all casualties shall be treated equally and without prejudice. In the name of Clovis la Britannia, you are now ordered to cease fire at once. I shall allow no further fighting."
Meanwhile, inside the G-1 Base, Clovis asked if they were satisfied, and Ange agreed. Yet he congrats to her for getting to him so far, but he wondered what she going to do him. He suggested that he and she sing a ballad or even play chess as Clovis remembered that she alright loses while he won several times. "Now that had some familiar ring to it." Said, Lelouch. "Don't you recall? The three of us used to play chess together as kids. Of course, I would always win and not the other way around." He reminded Clovis about his early childhood at Aris Villa, where it resided in Britannia up the top of the United States of America seven years ago. "Who are you? How did you know about that places?"
Clovis demanded. "It's been a long time, big brother," Lelouch replied. Then Clovis is shocked and believes he's seen a ghost. "Well, Brother, you never would expect to see the eldest son of the late consort Marianne and seventeenth in line to the imperial throne, Lelouch vi Britannia, at your service. This only puts Clovis into more confusion as Lelouch is the only member of the Imperial Family who knows and has been there before Japan's invasion. "That's right. I have returned, Your Highness. And I've come back to change everything." He replied with a devilish smile.
